So much happened in that week, yet at the same time it felt like nothing had happened with how swiftly it had transpired, my workload keeping me so busy and never getting entirely checked off of the list that I felt like I had made no progress, despite knowing clearly that I had been making quite a bit of progress.
The house got so much larger, the land was portioned off into small garden plots, we had a training ground for the warriors to practice, we had a beautiful deck overlooking the river...
All those locations were multipurpose too, since I could be - for instance - gardening with Kalia and tending to the wheat before my daughter and I began to get touchy, only for me to push Kalia down and enjoy fingering her tight pussy until she came.
Or when I sparred with Sari one time and the woman pushed me down mid fight to breed me, overpowering me and dominating me in the open, her content hisses and purrs as she 'raped' me sending shivers up and down my spine.
That all was just to say that no matter where or when I was somewhere, it was likely that I ended up having sex there, and as such I made sure that the land was taken care of and planned accordingly, making sure no one could see us from the outside and that everything would be worry free whenever we decided to get down to it.
Personally, the deck was my favorite place on our land, the view of the sun setting over the Potaam River making the unsurprising drilling I received all the better as I pleasured my two wives and my two eldest daughters all at the same time, basking in semen and the setting sun before getting pulled inside to satiate their lust.
Sometimes I wondered how none of us got tired of sex, only to lose my mind as the scents and sounds and feeling of it overloaded me, understanding that the sheer amount of pleasure was only growing, with no sign of decreasing.
So much happened, yet it all felt so similar to our usual routine that the days blurred together, and before I knew it, the Duchess had returned, her red hair and sky blue eyes making it easy to spot her as she had her horse trot over to our land.
Meeting her outside, I gave the gorgeous Duchess Poinset a curtsy before guiding her inside, showing her where to tie her horse up and then leading her into the house and over to the deck.
She seemed rather surprised by the progress, yet that only made her smile as she took a seat on the deck and overlooked the Potaam River, accepting the tea from Kalia and taking it all in.
"You've been a busy woman, Miss Astra. Quite the house you have, and the land itself looks wonderful! You must have at least two powerful magicians, no? An... Earth one and a Nature one, if I had to make a guess. Someone to help with the house and another to maintain the land?"
Swirling the tealeaves around some, I smiled and nodded, replying "Yes, I am blessed in that regard. My family has quite the diverse skillset, Duchess Poinset."
"I can tell~! I can also tell that - unless my eyes are deceiving me - you have quite the garden of herbs and leaves over there... lemongrass, chamomile, tea, cinnamon... quite the assortment! Hopefully it's a rather... lucrative assortment?"
The Duchess' sky blue eyes were glimmering with anticipation, and considering how she leaned forwards - causing her large breasts to almost spill out from the top of her racy red dress - she was truly a tea fiend.
"Indeed it has been, Duchess. Depending on the size of your request, I believe that we are entirely capable of producing and selling enough ingredients for you to enjoy delicious tea year round. Again though, it depends on the size per month. Currently..."
Running some calculations in my head, I said "I think we can sell a pound and a half, two pounds of ingredients to you each month comfortably, perhaps even three if you require extra. This would be roughly a 50% - so a pound - composition of tealeaves as well as the remaining 50% being an assortment of various herbs and the like. As for price..."
Now it was time for me to lean forwards, and the Duchess had a small smile as she stared intently at my veil, her sky blue eyes shining with a brilliant light as she prepared to negotiate the price.
"I was thinking a stable 10 Gold per pound all year round. How does that sound?"
I smiled beneath my veil as the Duchess narrowed her eyes, scanning the veil to try and figure out what I was thinking by giving her a price that was roughly market average - from what I recalled during the time in the market, anyways.
"Rather... cheap. I can't tell if that's just a lack of understanding of the market or a sign of goodwill. Tea is a cash crop, after all, and finding someone to produce it solely for yourself is a pain considering the amount needed to maintain a filled pot year round..."
Tapping her fingers against the table, the Duchess eventually let out a sigh before smiling at me again, saying "That's acceptable. More than acceptable, really. I have a blank contract here, if you'd like to read it over. Name, amount, price and the like are left blank, and you can fill it in yourself before I review and sign off, binding this deal between us legally and Divinely as well."
She placed a rolled up piece of paper between us, sliding it over and allowing me to read it while she enjoyed her tea and the view, giving me the time to make sure it was fine and that I was comfortable with the terms.
Not finding anything wrong, I accepted the quill and small, sealed inkwell she offered me and filled out the contract, before handing it back to her to review.
The Duchess signed it off a moment later, smiling at me and asking "Have you come to an answer in regards to the other two propositions as well, Miss Astra?"
